Five robed figures, including an older man with a staff, gathered around a stringed instrument
A vertical, grayscale artwork depicts five figures clustered in the lower half of the composition against a plain, light background. In the upper center, a man with a beard stands, holding a tall staff adorned with decorative elements at its top. He wears a long, light-colored robe with dark trim. To his left and slightly in front, a figure with a shaved head, also in a light robe with dark trim, sits or kneels, holding a large, pear-shaped stringed instrument. This instrument, light in color, features a circular soundhole and visible tuning pegs. Next to this figure, a smaller figure looks towards the instrument. On the far left, a partially visible figure in a dark robe faces towards the group. On the far right, another figure, dressed in a dark robe with patterned trim, sits or kneels, also looking towards the instrument. The figures' robes are loose and flowing, with distinct folds and outlines. The background is unadorned, showing some faint marks and variations in tone.
